Final day in Mexico—my first trip here. A whirlwind tour of the Nauha civilization that existed prior to the Spanish arrival, followed by a close reading of Guadalupe event that resulted in the baptism of millions of indigenous in the decades following.
It has been a challenging historical lesson provided by a great friend, Dr. Ezekiel Stear of Auburn University. His persistent line of investigation throughout his career has been in search of an answer to the question: “How did Mexico become Mexico?”
His abundant knowledge has significantly altered my understanding of the “primitive” civilization that the Spanish evangelized in the 16th century, as well as the real collaboration and mutual respect that existed between the Nauha and the Franciscans in certain parts of New Spain—something approaching an ideal.
Of course, much of the story did involve mistreatment, deception, cruelty, and greed, on the part of both cultures. Human beings have not changed very much, ever.
More to follow in the coming days, but for today: 🇲🇽 Viva Mexico y la Virgen 🇲🇽
